Cybersecurity Tips for Safe Online Banking

At CoreFirst, we prioritize the security of your financial information. Follow these essential cybersecurity practices to ensure a safe online banking experience with our services.

1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Create a complex password for your CoreFirst online account. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Take advantage of CoreFirst's two-factor authentication feature. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your mobile device, in addition to your password.

3. Keep Your Software Updated

Regularly update your computer's operating system, web browsers, and antimalicious software software. These updates often include important security patches that protect against the latest threats.

4. Be Wary of Phishing Attempts

Be cautious of unsolicited emails, text messages, or phone calls asking for your CoreFirst login credentials or personal information. CoreFirst will never request sensitive information through these channels.

5. Use Secure Networks

Avoid accessing your CoreFirst online account on public Wi-Fi networks. If you must use public Wi-Fi, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for added security.

6. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly

Take advantage of CoreFirst's online services to frequently check your account activity. Report any suspicious transactions immediately to our customer service team.

7. Use Official CoreFirst Apps

When banking on mobile devices, only use the official CoreFirst app downloaded from authorized app stores. Be wary of fake apps that may try to steal your information.

8. Log Out After Each Session

Always log out of your CoreFirst online account when you're finished, especially when using shared or public computers. This prevents unauthorized access to your account.
